Through the use of these educative strategies, we are also adhering to #SDG3! School-community gardens are a positive strategy to implement to better our students health and wellbeing (Dyg, 2017). We are educating for healthier futures! #UoNTeach#educ4750
@Brayden07339463 I agree @Brayden07339463! It is such an important topic to raise awareness about! A great initiative to make our world a better place!
Today is #WorldHealthDay! A day that draws attention to a fairer and healthier world - supporting #SDG3. Each year they draw on new topics. Looking into their website of their 2015 topic, #foodsafety is a beneficial ICT resource to use within the classroom! #UoNTeach#educ4750
Awesome resource, thanks @Madelin77681045! The 'Designing a School Garden' section will be highly beneficial for creating a whole-school community garden. Service-learning increases student interest, discussions and academic achievements (Astin et al (2000)! #educ4750#UoNTeach
Kids Gardening provides teachers with resources/lesson plans to implement food sustainability practices within classrooms #SDG3. Linking to the idea of service-learning and completing this within the community (Fair & Delaplane, 2015). #educ4750#UoNteach https://t.co/SrLhau3CCO
Thanks for sharing Ainsley, I definitely plan on using these in my integrated unit of work! KWL charts help create a student-centered classroom, promote student interests and participation and facilitate positive learning outcomes (Safenaz et al. 2012). #educ4750#UoNTeach
@ThinkIncIusion Great idea Rhys! It will definitely be beneficial in the classroom when teaching students a PDHPE unit of work revolving around health and wellbeing!
By using the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating with our students, we are promoting positive and healthier behaviours to enhance their health and wellbeing #SDG3! They can use this as a visual tool to help create a 'day on the plate' during their unit of work #educ4750#UoNTeach
@Madelin77681045 I agree. It is important for them to be aware of this especially when they are growing the foods themselves! Students need to be aware of food safety when producing their own foods! #vegegarden
This engaging resource can be used as a tool to address the food safety informational needs of our youth. We need to expand our students knowledge and skills to adhere to better health and wellbeing (Byrd-Bredbenner et al. 2009) #SDG3#UoNTeach#educ4750

@MissMartz8@OzHarvestEdu Thanks for sharing @MissMartz8. This website looks very beneficial for my integrated unit of work! Have you tried these within your classroom?
@OzHarvestEdu is a beneficial resource for teachers to use within a unit of work reflecting #SDG3! Their 'FEAST' curriculum aligned program is used to enhance healthy eating. It is an engaging and hands-on way to teach students about nutrition! Give it a go! #educ4750#UoNTeach
Great idea Sachelle! Studies show that children function better cognitively and emotionally in #greenenvironments (Mallar & Townsend, 2006). Through implementing gardens into our learning we are boosting our students wellbeing and cognitive skills! #educ4750#UoNteach
#ecoboysandgirls is a great resource to implement into our classrooms. Using the 5 characters will engage our students in the importance of having a connection with our earth to empower & take ownership of our planet, environment & help us live in harmony #UonTeach#educ4750
@Madelin77681045 No worries! I found that after I spent half an hour navigating the app on the IWB with them, it was easy for them to navigate independently! Give it a try!
I agree! If students are growing their own food, they are more likely to expand on their tastes and try healthier foods. Meinen et al. (2012), examine this idea and conclude that gardens increase access to and consumption of healthy food options! #educ4750#UoNTeach#SDG3
Do you know a child like this? I do. The struggle is real! Growing your own food teaches children to explore their tastes and make healthier choices. #educ4750#UoNTeach#SDG3
When incorporating a whole-school community garden into the school, it is important to use @USDAFoodSafety as an educative tool. Students need to be aware and understand the importance of food safety. Have you thought about using this in your classroom? #educ4750#UoNTeach

This video is a great resource to incorporate into a lesson relating to healthy eating and wellbeing. I plan to use it at the beginning of my unit of work. Have you seen any other beneficial videos to use throughout your unit? #educ4750#UoNTeach
Using literature in the classroom is an effective, enjoyable and engaging tool to educate our students (Ferey, 2004). 'Oliver's Vegetables' is a great picture book to use in a lesson relating to healthy eating. Do you know any other books that relate to #SDG3? #educ4750#UoNTeach
